From ticket #111087:

From what we understand the agreement for your league is the following -
$10 credit if the following criteria is met:
- 50% of the returning owners have to return each season.
- Only returning owners WITH THE SAME team were eligible for the GC.

Please note that when this was agreed to all leagues were 24 teams. Since then we have added the ability to have different league sizes. Therefore the credit awarded to your leagues will be based on the league size so if your league is using less than 24 teams then the credit will be prorated.
